Shims?
Do you know why I’m truly looking forward to the End of the World As We Know It? Because then, I can send all the male family members out to live in the woods with the sanitary habits of gorillas, which is what they’ve always wanted anyway.
Anoreth can come and defend the girls and me, and I will clean for us. So there. Other ladies may join us, if they are cheerful or have a skill.
Include me in. I love to cook! I can give Anoreth a backup—I’m respectable w/a blowgun and studied esoteric Chinese weapons for two years.
Not certain of what the question is so I’ll give you the whole megillah. A shim is a wooden wafer of a thickness that graduates from zilch to about 1/4 inch; sort of a wedge-type thingie approximately 5 inches in length that you stick into places where you want to stop things from jiggling or you need to minimize a gap. Mr. Sg made a set of steps for our neighbor so that he’d stop falling and hurting his knee. The porch upon which the steps were placed was uneven, so the steps wiggled almost imperceptibly. Mr. Sg doesn’t tolerate imperfection on any level so he rousted me out of bed early so that he could remediate the deficiency. We had to feed the horse and the peacocks there anyway, and we picked up a few grocery items (Hass avocadoes on sale).
I can make warm things. I can even bring my millennial supply of yarn, string and plastic bags. :o]
